There could even be a series of Hogan cards too, if he ever were to sign on. 1987 Hulk Hogan (by far the strongest card) 1997 Hollywood Hogan 2005 "Legend" Hulk Hogan 1982 "Ichiban" Hulk Hogan Completely unrelated to Hulk but maybe a Mr America circa 2003 |

If you give me a choice of anyone kinda, sorta vaguely related to Hulk Hogan, up to and including Hulk Hogan..... I'll take Mike Awesome

To each there own but I would not want him. I even killed him off in my alternate timeline. Never liked him, dude can't wrestle and got good booking. He would lose in a real fight to anyone we have on the roster including Nacho.

Matter of his fee would be the main reason. Um, you still have both kidneys after G-Con, right?  |

While a Hulk card would be nice, we have the most important Hogan in my eyes, Kiera.

Yeah, I managed, still not selling them. Kiera is my favored of the Hogans for sure. Also in agreement on Mike Awesome...totally want an Awesome card. |

He would lose in a real fight to anyone we have on the roster including Nacho. ............ We're gonna be having extremely divergent opinions here. The whole "Hulk can't wrestle" thing is absurd. Good booking? Then why not take Warlord who made way less money, book him the same way, and see what happens? Because it was more than that, like him or not. Hogan COULD wrestle, could take the grind of being on top for so long when the company toured NONSTOP, and did all the right things in the ring. Ask anyone from Jerry Brisco to B Brian Blair if Hogan was a legit tough guy and they will give you a WAAAAAY different answer than "Nacho could beat him up" ....In fact, both of those guys will be in Waterloo this weekend. Maybe I can get them to go on the record!  |

I would say Hogan was never a great between-the-bells worker per se. But at his best, he was a good worker who was capable of great performances.

While no one is going to put Hogan in a Top Ten for his wrestling he could wrestle. Especially more than he was allowed to do in WWE. Blaming him for being told how to wrestle in WWE is like blaming an actor for the lines he reads for his role.

I don't think it was a matter of what he was allowed to do, they and he knew what the fans wanted and he didn't usually have to do more than that.
